    1. This is an interview where the journalist Yavor Dachkov criticizes the position of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church (BOC) concerning the debates on the introduction of religious education at state schools. He argues that the BOC reacted with delay and was not ready to talk with other stakeholders. Dachkov, who speaks from the position of a devote Orthodox Christian, argued that no religious education should be introduced at schools because this would not help upbringing true Christians. In his opinion the place of religion is the Church and the family. The problem in Bulgaria is the lack of genuine faith among people and the many internal problems that the BOC has not started solving yet, according to Dachkov.
